i'm not sure you can jump to that conclusion either. there takes a certain level of maturity both emotional and financial at certain skill levels. a psychologist once pointed out to me that actors are able to take their nervousness and translate it into energy to use in the moment.
at a point in my career i faced a similar dilemma but handled it completely differently than i had earlier. someone made a snide comment "but why would you use bash for this?" and i was able to take it in stride and the result of that comment got me the job. but at the start of my career i may have reacted negatively, i may have clammed up and stammered my way through the rest of the interview etc (i didn't get those jobs). could you imagine being in front of a C-level exec or a $300M customer and being discombobulated?
no one wants to hire an insecure pre-sales engineer etc
EDIT: i'm assuming engineering levels beyond senior. my past experiences have been around principal/architect roles which require a 'tough skin'. i would not expect rude remarks to a SE1 or SE2 and if that was the role, i would leave flustered with a bad taste in my mouth as well
